In recent news, my design work has been in another design magazine. This time its
Practical Webdesign magazine. In the December 2008 Issue183 in the .net/showcase/gallery section.
It features about 4 screen shots of some of my work and a written piece which states…
“Jon Montenegro

Company In house (Jon Montenegro)
URL In house
When we talk about navigation, we delve straight into the way we work with the web, yet for some people, a word processor or email client is actually a more familiar way of sharing content with users.
In essence, that’s exactly what ‘experience director’ Jon Montenegro has done with his engaging site.
It simply lists content like emails, with the details in columns. These columns can then be changed to be viewed by client name, format, work, industry or year, much like how emails can be ordered by subject, date or size. The concept is so simple and bare-bones that it’s almost ridiculous that a site could prove successful by using this method. Yet Montenegro knows the power of the familiar and has created something instantly accessible.”
Many, many thanks.
Jon

How do consumers feel about your brand?… really feel?… true valid insight in real time? Obtaining and measuring this information is nothing new, but a method that taps into blogs and other social generated content to obtain this information via on an online application is quite interesting. Check out Scoutlabs and their teaser demo. Some insight into scoutlabs can also be found at their blog.
A friend of mine is an “Experience Architect” at this San Francisco based start-up. I’m sure you have heard the buzz here and there. Its still in beta, but with such an interesting concept, I look forward to seeing how this initiative progresses.

We have seen this ratio in mathematics and art through the ages. I am experimenting with creating actionscript artwork using this ratio for dynamically creating visual composition.
